Best Soldier Character

DioField Chronicle - Andrias RhondarsonAndrias Andrias is one of the most vital characters for your party, since Dagger skills are just too powerful against single targets. Assassination and Shadow Step are particularly powerful, especially when dealing Ambush damage. His passive skills increase attack speed and Technique and reduces cooldown time, making him an effective single-target DPS, with the ability to dispatch an entire group in an instant by exploiting Assassination's zero cooldown benefit.

CheckmarkFace Enemies Away from the Team
CheckmarkEquip Defense and HP Boosting Accessories

Use Provoke Skills to Draw Aggro

Use all skills that Provoke enemies to draw their attention away from your teammates. Shield Wall in particular is great at this, and allows your Soldier to increase its defense as well.

Face Enemies Away from the Team

Face Enemies Away
After Provoking enemies, head to their opposite side to face them away from the rest of your party members, so that they will be able do Ambush damage. Alternatively, you can combo Provoke skills with Cavalier reposition skills for great CC utility during combat.

Equip Defense & HP Boosting Accessories

Defensive Items
Soldiers usually equip Accessories that boost their Defense and HP, which are vital stats for a good tank. The higher these stats, the better their survivability becomes, allowing them to protect your team.
